Elastomer and composite component for shipbuilding

Manufacturer of elastomer and composite components for the shipbuilding industry

For many years, BORFLEX® has been developing elastomer and composite solutions for the French Navy and shipyards.

Every day, BORFLEX® develops specialised elastomer and composite products tailored precisely to its customers’ needs.

Drawing on its expertise in various manufacturing technologies and the modulation of physical properties, the BORFLEX® Group supplies the French Navy with elastomeric and composite parts that meet all specifications:

Compliance with standards
Performance
Chemical and physical resistance (pressure, temperature, etc.)
Sustainability
Sealing (against liquids, gases, noise, contamination, ballistic protection, radiation protection, etc.)

BORFLEX® offers sealing solutions for boat building and a range of elastomeric products for boat transport.

The BORFLEX® Group designs and manufactures all types of rubber and polyurethane components, ensuring the integrity of your boat whilst under way. Thanks to the Group’s many years of experience, BORFLEX® is now able to offer you seals, runners and rails in both low and high hardness grades, all of which are guaranteed to provide long-lasting performance.

As well as providing a seal, elastomers must fulfil several essential functions:

abrasion resistance,
tear resistance,
resistance to deformation,
resistance to heat and cold,
resistance to hydrocarbons
permanent deformation following compression,
ageing,
etc.

radiation protection.

The BORFLEX® Group supplies a wide range of equipment, delivering performance and efficiency. To meet the challenges of the defence and armaments sectors, innovation is at the heart of the BORFLEX® Group’s priorities^.

Development of marinas, docks and unloading quays

Elastomeric quay fenders for the protection of ships

The BORFLEX® Group has been supplying fenders to quays, docks and ports for several years.

These elastomeric quay fenders absorb the impact of the vessel as it comes to berth or even as it passes at low speed. This protects both the vessel and the quay.

The elastomers selected for these fenders offer excellent resistance to weathering, impact, tearing, abrasion and seawater.
